HENDERSON, NEV. – The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) announces the following nighttime Interstate 11 closures in Henderson.

Sunday Night—Monday Morning (April 18-19) • The southbound Interstate 11 offramp at Wagonwheel Drive will be closed from 7 p.m., April 18, until 6 a.m., April 19, in Henderson for resetting guardrail.

Sunday Night—Friday Morning (April 18-23) • There will be north and southbound Interstate 11 lane reductions at Paradise Hills Drive from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m. nightly, starting the evening of April 18 and concluding the morning of April 23 in Henderson for paving improvements.

The temporary closures are part of a $12.7 million, 6-mile-long Interstate 11 upgrade between Mile Markers 16.8 and 22.8 that began work late last year. Las Vegas Paving is the general contractor. The project calls for removing the existing 14-year-old rubberized asphalt and replacing it with a crumb rubber overlay for a smoother, rejuvenated driving surface that also dampens ambient noise.

The job additionally repairs concrete slab bridge decks and approaches at East Paradise Hills and College drives, while installing decorative rock at the freeway interchanges for reduced soil erosion and better slope management. Other work entails new bridge painting and drainage enhancements, plus lighting and signage improvements.

Motorists should use caution while travelling through the work zone, heed construction signage, and take alternate detour routes, if possible. NDOT works with Waze to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but unscheduled construction changes, closures and restrictions are possible due to weather or other factors.
